Dr. Meena Malhotra is the medical director at Heal n Cure, an integrative facility in Glenview that specializes in functional medicine. Few factors are more important to our overall health than what we eat. The quality, quantity and cleanliness of our food can either prevent or cause disease. Plant-based diets have become quite popular recently, with people seeking to reduce their meat intake to improve their health, lower their carbon footprint or for ethical reasons. Nutrition is one of five pillars of health, and Malhotra recommends a plant-based diet to improve liver health, maximize nutrient intake, balance hormones and enhance the body’s ability to repair the ongoing damage. Still, there are many misconceptions about what exactly plant-based eating is and how to best achieve balance.
